Re: is there way to Kill bacteria around the tooth ROOT CANAL using natural means?

For sure Oil of Oregeno. I broke a molar in October and it abscessed. I was low on money and without dental insurance. I put it on a small piece of cotton ball layed against the gum of the abscessed tooth. Not only did it draw the infection out but has done so 3-4 more times. It has bought me plenty of time now to have it looked at by a dentist.

Re: is there way to Kill bacteria around the tooth ROOT CANAL using natural means?

Had root canal, then retreatement (tooth was still tender), had several rounds of antibiotics, now tooth is reacting to heat. Doctor says to either have root canal surgery or pull it, he thinks there is a residual bacteria around the root. Any natural ways to fix this?Thank you

Had this happen too. It was a cracked tooth below the gum line. They can't see small cracks sometime. Better to pull it than spend money on root canal only to find that doesn't work either if tooth has hairline crack.

Re: is there way to Kill bacteria around the tooth ROOT CANAL using natural means?

I almost had to have a root canal, nerve was nicked while working on a deep too far gone cavity. Swish a tsp of fresh (make sure its not stale) olive oil, and you can add a few (only a drop of each) of thyme oil, lavender oil,and chamomile oil. I would also mix sea buckthorn oil in there and grapefruit seed extract. Or mix up a batch of a weeks worth to use. Swish for at least 20 minutes after flossing after every meal. You can do it while you're in the shower. It exercises you gums from the swishing. Research shows it is more effective than their traditional treatments, and they are starting to consider it for use as a medical rinse. People did this for thousands of years. Just make sure you spit it out. The oil conditions and coats, and kills bacteria. It helps your breath too. The pain relief is noticeable for sure. Tooth went from feeling like room temperature water was hot acid (and shooting pains too), to being tolerable. The improvement continued gradually for as long as I did it. But you need to floss and brush too. I could barely chew anything for almost a year with it. Now I can eat nuts and popcorn with it. I wish they would teach people about this from a young age.

Re: is there way to Kill bacteria around the tooth ROOT CANAL using natural means?

If its an abcess that forms on the gum, theres a few things you can do-saltwater rinses all the time, rinse with hydrogen peroxide and water, tea tree oil mixed in water.ground cloves or clove oil on the gum/abcess to stop pain.

Im am going through the same thing right now.

Had a root canal done about a year ago and its just within the lat few weeks starting to hurt a bit again in that area. upper left molar.

the bad news is that I had a university student do it. the upside was that it only cost 200 bucks instead of 1500 at a specialist. he showed his instructor the xrays when he was done and I assume it all looked good.

so OP, have you come to a conclusion from this thread on what action you are going to take?

Re: is there way to Kill bacteria around the tooth ROOT CANAL using natural means?

Neem Oil

Tooth Decay

One of the best uses of neem is as an antibacterial agent for the mouth. According to the Neem Foundation, neem oil is excellent as a killer of bacteria that grow in the mouth and cause tooth decay. Simply adding a drop or two of neem oil to your toothpaste or mouthwash is enough to do the job because neem oil is very concentrated. However, there are a number of toothpastes on the market that contain neem as an ingredient. According to the University of Michigan Health System, neem can be just as effective as using the medication Chlorhexidine to kill mouth bacteria. (see reference 2) In a 2004 study done by M.R Pai, L.D Acharya and N. Udupa the use of a neem gel used two times per day was as effective as using Chlorhexidine for reducing plaque and bacteria that lead to tooth decay.

Re: is there way to Kill bacteria around the tooth ROOT CANAL using natural means?

I had a root canal about 10 yrs ago and NEVER had a problem with it! You might consider switching dentists...but very important info here is:

FLOSSING LIKE AN OBSESSED NUT

I floss after every single blessed time I eat, no matter what. I floss in the car, at home, at work, at a restaurant, friend's house. I ALWAYS have floss with me.

And I floss all teeth every day but THAT tooth gets flossed after anything I eat.

I think that is why I have had no problems with it. Oh, and whenever possible I swish with listerine or something right after I floss.

The hygenist who treated me at my wonderful dentist before and after the root canal was about 75 (no kidding), had excellent teeth, and swore to me that most of the problems people have with teeth result from not enough flossing. Brushing is not enough.

And there is a "deep cleaning" they can do...though I do not need it I was told-- because I floss like a boss.

Re: is there way to Kill bacteria around the tooth ROOT CANAL using natural means?

My wife had this. First thing: don't get another root canal unless its absolutely necessary. You'd be better having the tooth pulled.

Second, this might recur for the rest of your life. Root canals are actually a big mistake, something we learned after my wife had two.

Solution: the three best recommendations have been mentioned, but I want to reiterate them.

1) The Weston Price Foundation's recommendations. I.e. high quality Vitamin K2 and lots of D3. Also Cod Liver Oil. All this had the effect of generating the hormones etc necessary to heal your gums and teeth.

2) Lots of garlic. There's actually a technique you can use, but it hurts. Very finely chop fresh garlic cloves. Take maybe 1/5 of a teaspoon and place it in your mouth around the gum. Then let it sit. I warn you - it will HURT. You'll have a burning sensation. It is bearable, but be ready. You'll want to do that for at least 10 minutes. It kills bacteria.

3) Oil pulling. Maybe once a day or every few days. Just don't swallow the oil.

There's a chance the bacteria will infect adjacent teeth. This is a side effect of root canals. You may end up having to get a bridge or something like that.

Re: is there way to Kill bacteria around the tooth ROOT CANAL using natural means?

heres the thing:what dentists today dont tell you(and pretend they dont know about is microbial bacteria being trapped within the tooth sometimes travelling to other parts of the body and creating other illnesses.You need to do some reading on Weston Prices work: [link to www.healingteethnaturally.com]

check that sites out too its pretty good.

it does sound like you have an infection trapped in there.

Usually a normal dentists will clean out the roots(filing the canals) again and again until they'think' theres no infection left.

Antibiaotics sometimes dont work if youd had heaps of them or the infection type changes.

You can try some natural antibiotic remedies like taking colloidal silver, vitC/zinc, garlic,etc.

Youll know your really in trouble if you get an abcess that doesnt form a pimple on the gum and cant drain.

have the put a crown on the root canal?how many times have they filed/cleaned the roots?

did you have an abcess/pain before you had root canal?did it form an abcess that drained?

This root canal (bottom molar) was first done a year ago (it was supposed to be a filling, but after dentist prepped it for a filling, it became sensitive to the touch, so dentist started a root canal. There were shooting nerve pains right after the procedure, so he sent me to a specialist) Specialist finished the root canal and sealed it. I took antibiotics at that time. Tooth never settle for a year (always tender, especially when pressing on sides). So finally, it was retreated 2 months ago, special medicine was put in it twice (it was cleaned out at least 3 times by a specialist - one of the times it was cleaned, there was a lot of throbbing pain in the gum/tooth right after - so I had to take strong antibiotics). It got better, but still was tender like before, but a week ago, it suddently got weird pains when eating/drinking hot stuff.

I don't believe there was ever drainage, but as I mentioned there were times after procedure when it was very painful and swollen, I had to take antibiotics, and also a steroid shots. Another thing happened recently, a top gum/tooth above it got really painful about 2 months ago as well, there was some drainage in that area, and I did a heavy duty oil pulling/silver/oregano/etc that eventually cleared it off. I don't know if it's related....

Root canal is not completed (still has medicine in it). I have been doing oil pulling every day with coconut oil.

holy shit.first-sounds like you didnt actually need a root canal when you visited the dentist because of a cavity-a good dentist can crown a badly cavitied tooth-unless he drills out the hole too much to expose the pulp/nerve, which is what sounds like has happened.If the cavity had hit the pulp/nerve-youd have been in pain then, maybe had an abcess and face swelling-but before that youd have had heat/cold sensitivity.Did he anethetise you for this first root canal when you thought you were going for a filling?you shouldnt have had pain or felt tooth sensitivity during the procedure if you were properly numbed.so then he sent you to an endonist who put you on antibiotics and cleaned/filed the roots.Its normal to have the tooth filed/cleaned and the meds put in up to 5 times before they crown a tooth.

I need to make this point-if your tooth is still sensitve-its not dead-theres still some nerve function for it to have both pain and sensitivy-especially intermittantly and for so long-root canaled teeth are dead-not sensitive.Im thinking maybe you have curved roots, that havent been filed properly or cleaned properly or maybe even and extra root that they havent gotten to.Technically it should have showed up on xray, but ive heard of worse dental mistakes.

All that dentist/rootcanal talk aside-i should say, i do not think rootcanal is good, im against it.

I would try some of the natural food/herb cleansing remedies, i left a link in one of my other posts for the cure tooth decay site, it has a lot of dietry and supplement info, diet plays a major part in tooth health also for helping with pain/inflamation etc.

Try some of those first, it may help with the tooth up top too you said was playing up.

As far as dentists go-if you want to go that way and continue with trying to save the tooth via rootcanal-see someone else-because that type of pain from a 'dead' tooth is just not right.

Personally because its a back molar id have it removed.If it was a front tooth or one visible when smiling etc i may try save it.From what ive found the negatives of rootcanal outweigh trying to save teeth-but the choice is yours.

Another thing is some rootcanaled teeth even when crowned done last-because the tooth is dead its stucture gets brittle and most people ive known(including me) have had rootcanaled teeth just crumble and shatter-money down the drain and a lot of angst.

Re: is there way to Kill bacteria around the tooth ROOT CANAL using natural means?

Had a root canal about 15 years ago. Never felt right. Went to new dentist who found a crack below the surface. He suggested pulling it and I agreed. He said it would never be right. After having it pulled I feel so much better. No longer have sinus pain and aches in the jaw line.

I am reading the responses, some have very good information. I am not sure what I'll do yet. It could be a hairline fracture, who knows, or an infection. I don't want to spent $1800 on root operation (and then maybe still loose the tooth), and I am ready to pull it out yet... Specialist gave me few weeks to make a decision.

My thought, since it won't go away.....you might have had a bad tooth issue in a past life that may be seeping through the veil. Maybe see a past life regression therapist and process the blocked pain/trauma/emotions.
